I was wondering how long until i see the effects? I had my first infusion 1 week ago and am really suffering since. When will i know if it will work for me?

    Hi. I was told up to 3 months.

    I had my first infusions of rituximab last year and it lasted a year before having another one.

    good luck with it.

    Hi this is my 5th week from recieving rituxumab (1st infusion 5th Dec 2nd infusion 19 th Dec) and I'm still struggling with my shoulders

    Though my knees hands wrists and hips are much easier so something is working

    Just hoping my shoulders start to get better and you to @hoppingmad
